Summary
Glenn and Commander Shepard would later become comrades-in-arms, be hailed as heroes and have stories told of their courageous acts and the feats they accomplished together: but years before that, they meet nearly by chance on the Citadel, exchange few words and then move on. Neither would have guessed their later involvement, but it all begins somewhere. And for Glenn, it began on the Citadel, in 2183.

Summary
Really, though, growing up on Omega should have hardened me into an ice-cold bitch that doesn’t give two shits, or even one. Still, though, that one damn memory that comes back to me every time I close my eyes- I’m sure that has to be what’s responsible for my anxiety, the scared little girl (munchkin) that’s still desperately looking for someone’s approval. Sure, grown-up, hardassed Glenn has completely stopped caring. Munchkin, well. Munchkin is the name of my 600-gogelbyte list of inhibitions.
Glenn is an info broker, hacker, and forensics specialist who's grown up on the streets of Omega- one day, her world is suddenly and inextricably changed by the arrival of the brother of a ghost (and subsequently, the ghost herself), both who want different things from her: first, and more simply, John Shepard wants her to find out Archangel's identity. Secondly, and a bit more complicated, Charlie Shepard wants her to join a suicide mission to hit the Collectors where they live. And that doesn't even start on the third one.

Summary
“This is concerning your asari friend, on Illium?” I questioned, reading over the reports. “What was her name, T’Soni?”
“That’s exactly it,” Charlie confirmed, her arms crossed above the handrail. “She’s an old friend of ours- she helped us take down Saren. Normally we would take this assignment ourselves; but we’ve had something crucial pop up by the Alpha Relay, and it just can’t wait.”
“We wanted to send someone we trust to help Liara,” Paxton said, leaning on the handrail. “We came to a consensus you’d be the best choice. You have a…very particular set of skills that will lend itself to the mission.”
“We trust she’ll be in good hands,” John finished.
It's only been a few weeks since the Collector Base was destroyed and Charlie Shepard cut ties with Cerberus that something else pops up- namely, intel that could help an old friend track down the mysterious Shadow Broker. However, before they get a chance to help her, Admiral Hackett comes in with an important assignment that just can't wait- thus, it's up to Glenn to deliver the intel to Liara T'Soni and help her infiltrate the legendary Lair of the Shadow Broker.

Summary
What I’ve learned? Well, let’s just say that everyone fighting each other is a whole lot easier than trying to get everyone’s guns trained on the same opponent. Even with the threat of annihilation everyone still manages to be an ass, refuse to forget old grudges…but when you finally do get everyone to cooperate, fighting together seems to erase all the differences, turns us all into brothers and sisters. I’ve also learned that the warm fuzzies don’t come until much, much later- after you pick up all the scorched pieces of an old life and learn, slowly, with the others around you, how to rise from the ashes like a phoenix, and into a new age and day. Before there can be ash, though, there’s rubble. And to make rubble is death, and destruction... War.
Glenn has been cut off from the Normandy, her friends, the Shepards- and Joker- for six months. Now, the Reapers have arrived to begin their harvest, and Glenn and crew must race to unite the galaxy to face them, or else be doomed to the cycle of annihilation that came before. Loyalties, friendships, and bonds all alike will be tested, as the fate of all lives- past, present, and future- are decided once and for all.

Summary
I walked. No, I strode. Then I charged. I ripped right through the last Cerberus trooper, and I faced the station with shoulders squared, gun cocked and hot, and blood smeared across the bridge of my nose.
"I'm back, you fuckers."
Cerberus has claimed Omega- the throne of Aria T'Loak and the dark parody of the Citadel in Terminus Space- as their own. Glenn doesn't know why she's coming back- if it's a tactical issue, or if she simply has unfinished business- with Omega, or Cerberus, or maybe even both. Either way, it's going to take the help of old friends and old flames alike, and possibly a batarian with some really crap details, to take the station back and remind the galaxy of its one rule:
Don't fuck with Omega.

Summary
“Why do you fight?” came the question- phrased in many voices, high-pitched and inquisitive, deep and aristocratic, artificially synthesized, rough and mercenary.
“People are messy,” I said, into the emptiness. “Awkward. Sometimes selfish, and cruel. But they’re trying.” I swallowed. “And I’m going to make sure they have a chance.” I stood, alone in my quarters, head bowed under the weight slowly crushing down on me, the weight of a war I was slowly beginning to realize I would not survive.
“War will make corpses of us all.”The end approaches. As the Alliance uncovers an ancient creature in the depths of the dark, the noose tightens as the Reapers close in on one side, Cerberus in on the other. The Illusive Man- and Kai Leng- will only be able to run so long before they must face the consequences of their actions and be brought to bear for their crimes. Old crew and new face off with their inner demons as the commander crumbles beneath the weight of a war they are losing fast, and a new leader emerges, baseborn into her own destiny. The final battle approaches, and on the charred soil of Earth the fate of humanity-and the galaxy as a whole-will at last be decided, once and for all.
